Also Holy

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
September 1, 2024: SOAP #5386: Ezekiel 15, 16; Psalm 70; Revelation 6

SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 6:15 Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and every slave and every free man hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 16 They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! 17 For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

OBSERVATION:   We like to think of God as a God of love.  Sometimes we forget that He is also Holy.  The face of God is so capable of expressing love that we do not consider that a holy God is very capable of expressing anger!  When the object of His love is being hurt, He can get very angry.  And we must remember that this is the Almighty, Omnipotent God!   He has unlimited power and ability to express His emotions.  No wonder the kings and generals of the earth will try to hide from His wrath—even calling for the mountains to fall on them to hide them from God!  

APPLICATION:  Today is a day of grace.  A day in which God expresses His love and forgiveness to those who accept what Jesus did to pay for our sins.  We do not need to hide from His face but run to His face and embrace.  I know this day of grace will end—and I believe quite soon. 

So, if you have not made Jesus your Lord and Savior, then do it today, before you go to sleep tonight!  It is that important!  Come and enjoy the great peace that accompanies His presence in your life.  He will be like a drink of cool water to your dry and thirsty soul. 

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, what an honor to know your Son, Jesus.  I am blest that He has forgiven my sins and now by His Spirit lives in my heart.  Fill me with your peace and joy.  Live in me.  For it is in the Name of Jesus, I pray,  Amen
